Ashlee Simpson’s ‘Autobiography’: All 12 Tracks Ranked
Ashlee Simpson's 'Autobiography' has turned 20! Here's how we'd ranked all 12 tracks.
Written largely by Simpson, Kara DioGuardi and producer John Shanks, Autobiography evoked the sounds of Alanis Morrissette, Garbage and Hole, but with a pop mindfulness and plenty of personality. And although Simpson had a slew of devoted fans back in the early aughts, there’s been a newfound sense of appreciation of her impact among modern listeners, particularly in the wake of Gen Z’s pop-punk revival in recent years. While the snarling “Surrender” wasn’t one of the album’s singles, it remains one of the most thrilling moments on the record, harnessing the defiant spirit of Courtney Love and Joan Jett with swaggery power-pop riffs.
